Grandmother's Wolf Medicine.

Awareness" – by Sonara
I awoke to feeling the urge to do an intuitive automatic writing session with Wisdom Keeper... "Watch your back, keep your eyes open. Sense what's around you... explore your options."
The hummingbird came to me to represent the Grandmothers because it is warrior medicine. Fast, agile, focused, deadly. Its beak is long, needle nosed and sharp. When I think about its beak, its nose, I hear "view point, point of view and deadly accuracy" and Wisdom Keeper's lessons are a lot about point of view.
This moon cycle I learned to touch, tap into and sip the threads of fleeting thoughts that floated like tiny bubbles through my mind. Don't grab them, observe them and write down what I hear. I felt like I am creating a puzzle, putting the pieces together in such a random order and at some point the overall image starts to make sense. Since I am creating a set of lessons to follow, I am plotting a course to follow. Both Wolf and Hummingbird follow their noses (or beak) they follow the scent in their ways.
What is scent? Play with the word... ascent, descent... trippy. Where to next?
Huh, the hummingbird's beak reminds me of a tiny pixie with a sword. Never underestimate size or ability. I sense a hummingbird hovering in front of me... What do I see? Wings moving so fast they are a blur. A wolf coming out of the mist wearing feathers. What do these images have in common? They are both blurry, misty... mystery. "Confusion to thine enemies" and "Mystique." What am I doing? Can you follow me?
I am following the scent. Tracking the different scents, cataloguing the smells, taking in the nectar, following the hunger... my desire to know more. Oh, and Mystique was my dog, a Malamute I once had before Phoenix. She chose the name (Mystique) Mysti for short. She was a little crazy. Humans would say or rather I said "She had a screw loose." She wasn't all there. I did journey about her, only to find out she lived in between worlds "in the mist", in between, in a state of confusion. Are you following me so far? Do try to keep up. She had no common sense (true scenting ability), no solid awareness of this physical reality, (she lived in two worlds at once). No off switch (she bit people). She was truly a crazy dog and yet she could be so sweet too when she was present. Where am I going with this? Not sure yet. I'm just following the scent, the fleeting thoughts, the hummingbird's lead... Mysti tried to jump off a 20 foot cliff to the gravel below and landed spread eagle at our human feet. She just leaped right off the edge to get to the group she'd been walking with. (# humans and a wolfdog.) No hesitation. Maybe she'd thought she could fly. I was grateful she didn't break anything. Nice belly flop though -- Crazy dog.
Ok, so that was a trip down memory lane for me again. But Wisdom Keeper teaches us to remember. Track the fleeting thoughts to remember them. A writer who is in the "design documentation" phase of their book does exactly this; listen's to the quiet voice within, tracks the fleeting thoughts, the pieces by writing them down and brings the larger picture into focus over time.
Hummingbirds like Honeysuckle flowers, long orange bell shaped flowers to dip their beaks into. (Don't drink too deeply of the well, you might end up punch drunk.) They are designed to know (nose is knowing what's in front of you), know where the nectar is and how to go deep into the flower to get it. As a flower essence Honeysuckle is all about creativity.
Ahhh... now I've come full circle. Confusion, it's a place to cross, to traverse from one side to another, not a place you truly want to be stuck in or get lost in. Being stuck in the misty in-between state means a part of you is lost. Creativity, the act of creating is very focused. One must pay attention, and wolves are very adept at paying attention to multiple things at the same time. They catalogue scents, sounds and vibrations all at once. They sort through all the information and evaluate it in seconds. I swear both the hummingbird and the wolf have incredible mental acuity. When humans develop a tracking system within, an ability to follow their nose and be aware of sensory input on multiple levels without becoming confused, frustrated or upset, this is one way to develop the will to personal power and using it wisely. The way of the wolf is about teamwork, working together. The hummingbird has a single minded purpose, to seek sustenance. Put the two together and... I'm purposely leaving that thought open ended.
*Back in 2007, I made a commitment. Without a lot of consideration, basically just an intense desire to protect Phoenix, I promised to become a voice for the wolves and apparently the Grandmothers too. A voice of wisdom and truth, a warrior with a sword (words, long beak or a long furry nose), one who knows and shares the wisdom I have learned and experienced. I am becoming a Wisdom Keeper of Wolf Medicine.
What's your Medicine? Do you know?

"Grandmother's Bones"
As part of our online course material we journeyed to "Wisdom Keeper" for more of her teachings
and we have been making and working with a piece of ritual regalia, our own Power Necklaces.
I put these two together for working specifically with the Grandmothers and the Wolves.

My personal Band Members also came to me during a time of spiritual awakening and prompting from my Native Ancestors. This teaching was inspired and confirmed by a telephone conversation I once had with Grandmother Twylah during that time... She told me that she walked with four white spirit Wolves whom she referred to as her "Band Members" and that they stood, one in each of the four cardinal directions. Her name "Yeh Weh Node" means "She Whose Voice Rides the Four Winds". Names such as this tell much about the person and Grams always attracted people from all over the world to her doorstep. Important seeds took root in my awareness and they grew. This teaching was given to me and refined by my Spirit helpers. It is about the Power Animals and Allies that come to us when we are born and stay with us throughout our entire lifetime. They signify an accurate, symbolic representation of who we are and they do not leave. These Seven Totems and Seven Sacred Directions on the Medicine Wheel correspond to the Seven Chakras; like an inner map of the personality. Nowhere near as complicated as Astrology, this personal map is very easy to understand because we can all relate to and identify with animals and creature teachers. When I know my Band Members, I know myself.
